Splitear Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 I saw it reported on NBC, so I would imagine they would have done some checking to make sure it was legit. Very cool. nywaw 1
Ncountry Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 That's pretty cool. It would surprise me if that was the 1st time. Bucksnbows 1
2BuckBizCT Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 When was it? I was in NYC yesterday and the lightning, wind and rain was nuts. Have a few coworkers who got stuck on trains due to downed trees.

G-man Posted April 5, 2024 Posted April 5, 2024 Consider she's a giant copper grounding rod. I expect she's hit quite often , just capturing on camera at exact second is hard part , unless was video screen capture maybe easier Bucksnbows and dbHunterNY 2

I expect she's hit quite often , just capturing on camera at exact second is hard part , unless was video screen capture maybe easier not only that but there's a method when determining grounded air terminal coverage for lightning protection systems called the rolling sphere method. basically the idea is the higher up you are with nothing else tall around, the more likely you'll incur a strike. similar to common knowledge you don't want to stand under a really tall tree that might get hit or in the middle of a big wide open field.
